I like how all this falls on Gary Bettman when its the owners lockout, not his.

Oh yes,owners running leauge,Bettmen a puppet...

“In the old days, basically the owners ran the league and almost ran it into the ground,” Snider said last
December . “Now it’s Bettman’s league. He’s a great commissioner. Basically he’s the force behind
everything we do.”
